1. "Assembled" would be more accurate 2. I'm not dumb enough to pay for an iphone 3. You realize we have a shitload of Germans(and Ashkenazi Jews), right? They're like the smartest of all the white people.
Yeah assembled... Using Japanese components. It seems the american input consisted of nothing other than jobs blurting out one day "make an iPhone" and leaving it to those who know what they are doing to design, engineer and build.
True, it's mostly Asian companies along with a few American ones that supply components. But how much of the original architecture of the boards and chips originally came from here? And how many English companies provided components? Is the fruity design the only English contribution? What about the fact that it came from a company that started in a garage by two bright American kids with a vision and eventually grew to the point to where they could "blurt out" to others to "make them a phone", by using the leverage of the company that they've spent years building a brand for, which exemplifies innovation in technology? What about all the networking hardware and software that the iphone uses and the software that runs on it? Think that was all made in Taiwan? Any C code? Americans. Any C++? American company(same one that built C), Danish designer(I overuse that word), successor to C, which was made by Americans. Any Java, flash? Americans. How can you look like this and not be smart? (Creators of C and B(C's predecessor)) And we've got millions of people that look like that!! Except that's an old picture and today's versions are fatter.
Yeah america has produced some inspiring creators and some very large companies, I never said they haven't. What i said was that your education system is failing and the iPhone is designed and manufactured using mostly non-american expertise, design and components. You can't really make an argument for a good education system by using only exceptionally gifted people as the case examples.
Our K-12 blows, and our universities are among the world's finest. I hate these sorts of comparisons, because they really serve nothing, but by many objective standards, these are the facts. On strict standards only, I'd rather have been educated as a child in Europe, and glad I went to Berkeley as an adult. As to the video, I honor the vet's point of view, and it pains me to see what the man has endured. But when he states: I flatly disagree. A wrong war is a wrong war, and I can think of no greater way to honor the fallen vets, and the innocents lost, than to hold our government to task for so wantonly wasting lives, in the way it has with this debacle, and to work such a thing doesn't happen again. This is not unpatriotic; by my values, anyway, quite the opposite.
Obama and his ignorant followers have to be complete idiots if they did not believe Al Qaeda and terrorist were in Iraq. I have yet to see Iraq as a wrong war. We have a commitment to hunt down terrorist wherever they are and Iraq was harboring hundreds of thousand of terrorist. Those numbers have diminished and a change is taking place in Iraq that would have never occurred if it was not for the United States of America. Its called freedom. Women are actually walking through the streets of Iraq in blue jeans by themselves without the worries of being attacked. The cities are functioning as a normal city. I agree with Joe Cook, an Iraq war veteran, when Obama calls the Iraqi war a mistake, Obama disrespects the service and the sacrifice of everyone who has died promoting freedom. Obama is disrespectful to our soldiers, our soldiers' family, and Obama has displayed many anti-American characteristics like not pledging his allegiance. Obama is no different from the anti-Americans that post in the forums. A Harvard degree impresses some, but it reality, Obama is just an educated anti-American pulling the biggest scam in American history. Maybe Obama, having been raised a communist Muslim, was trying to protect the terrorist. Only he and God would know.
The terrorists we were fighting were few and far between, mostly in the north where Saddam had little to no control. All countries have some of those same members in them, should we invade all countries because some members are there? Our actions brought the vast majority of the terrorists we are fighting into Iraq, making about the best recruiting drive they could have hoped for.
It was quite a sight to see the numbers dwindle. You can relate to it, seeing the number of terrorist in your neighborhood fall first hand. Makes you fell warm and fuzzy doesn't it?
Yet our policies brought more of them into Iraq, not the other way around. Our polices also created more of them, the facts do not support your claims.
Report: Obama mentored by Communist Party figure Investigations show ties to radicals who shaped him, helped launch his political career
well the thing with your claim ,that iraq was harboring 100.000-s of terrorists, is ridiculous for several reasons...why would 100.000 terrorists gather in iraq? there was not terror attacks in iraq prior to your terror attack...if there truly was 100.000-s of terrorists should there not have been, in all fairness, 100.000-s of terror attacks daily in iraQ prior to your invasion? i realize that now iraq accounts for half of the worlds terror attacks...but this is after your invasion and is directed against you and your puppets...so how are the # of terrorists reducing? (other than in your mind)
homebiz just makes up whatever shit suites whatever point he is trying to make at any particular time. Then what he does is post an article from a source which nobody has ever heard of which in no way supports any allegation he has made in the hope that people will just take his word for it. edit: lol you beat me to it homebiz, You predictable propagandist.
You forgot to add that the source he linked to is extremely unbiased. No agenda at all from them. I mean just look at their store. http://shop.wnd.com/store/
atvking Maybe the US will help your country next. Are you still jealous of the US? How was church? So are you refuting that Obama was raised by a communist and was a Muslim? I did not think you were Great Post Grim
You're entitled to your opinion, of course. As a veteran of the armed forces, I have mine as well. At some point, hopefully, before the next month and a half, folks will have rely on more than propaganda. Oh, and He does pledge allegiance to the flag. Like many, he didn't, during the National Anthem, on that particular day, apparently. Like everything else, isn't there more to worry about than lapel pins, etc.? Like helping the Prez know the difference between his belly button and his heart?
